Ethiopia Immediate Humanitarian Funding Priorities

Ethiopia Immediate Humanitarian Funding Priorities

Overview
The 2018 Ethiopia Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) for Ethiopia is expected to be launched in the coming days (currently under review by the DRM Council of Ministers).

In advance of the HDRP launch, the priority funding gaps presented here are intended to inform urgently required funding decisions by donors, and a new allocation from the OCHA-managed Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (current balance of US$17 million). The priorities have been reviewed and endorsed by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, Ethiopia Humanitarian Country Team and the Commissioner of the National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC).

Cluster Coordinators and key UN and NGO partners met to consider sector-specific response priorities and the most-critical funding gaps for the first six months of 2018. (Full Report . . .)
